In Christ

”There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” | Romans 8: 1

Who can express fully the blessings of these words: “In Christ?”

“The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:” (1 John 4: 17)

To be “in Christ” means to be chosen “in Him before the foundation of the world.”

“To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.” (Ephesians 1: 6)

To be “in Christ” means that there is now “no condemnation,” accepted “in the Beloved,” and “complete in Him.”

“And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:” (Colossians 2: 10)

It means that “as He is, so are we in this world.”

It means everything to be “in Christ.”

Heaven’s Greatest Attraction

”For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:” | Philippians 1: 23

The great attraction of heaven is the Lord Jesus Christ!

He Himself is the object chiefly enjoyed.

To be with Jesus, and like Jesus, and to behold His glory constitute the heaven which true believers desire!

They long to behold that blessed face which was buffeted for them!

Their eternal anthem is, “Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.”

IN CHRIST HIMSELF

“That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: in whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:” | Ephesians 1: 10-11

The Holy Spirit does not reach after something novel, new, nor spectacular in order to glorify Christ or to preach Christ to men.

He does not need tongues, fleshly emotion, bodily healings, and creature fame and importance in order to bring glory to Christ and call out His sheep.

He finds Christ’s glory IN CHRIST HIMSELF!

If we want to honor Christ, glorify Christ, and preach Christ, we must not look for something outside of Christ; but we must honor Him by preaching that which is His already – His deity, His person, His man-hood, His life, His death, His resurrection, His ascension, His intercession, His return!
